Özet

Aim: Transient hypogammaglobunemia of infancy (THI) is defined as hypogammaglobunemia due to prolonged delay in immunglobulin production by infants in whom other hypogammaglobunemia have been excluded. The true incidence of THI has not been estimated. In patients with recurrent severe infections, prophylactic antibiotics and intravenous immunglobulin administration is indicated. The aim of this retrospective study was to report our THI patients.
